Why do American investors buy already established football clubs in England instead of building one in America with the amount of money they spend?

Hahaha because they know we Americans are not that great at soccer. Thought we did really well in the world cup this past time. I was cheering for three, America (obvious reason), Italy, and Ghana.

Because football isn't as prime a sport in America as it is in Britain. American football players aren't all over the international tabloids like the British ones are, so they wouldn't make as much money.

I think the word established already says it all. Some people would rather go for that investment because although more expensive, might prove less risky, English teams have a history, higher level of competition, solid fan-base, league and ifrastucture to work with.

Good Question , it is obvious , Liverpool etc have a much higher earning potential at the moment. Americans will latch on at sometime and with the large different ethnic populations they will wise up and realise that Real football is a great game and a great earner worldwide. Also the fans like to be able to see that the players are people and not metal and padded machines.

Using a similar thought process to Barcaluv67 the important word here seems to be investors and there is more fast money to be made from buying into English clubs. I think it's a really sad development because these people have no love of the game, but a huge love of money.
